“He’s trying to injure his opponent,” said Trump. “They’re trying to hurt the opponent because they can’t win fair and square—”
At this point, the network cut away, announcing an upcoming segment on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Hmm…wonder if this has anything to do with the settlements on them airing false election claims.

I have to assume Fox’s staff have had some pretty pointed training sessions from their corporate lawyers to try and prevent another costly lawsuit loss.
Fox doesn’t want to have to state the fact that the election wasn’t stolen in contradiction to Trump, so they rather cut away before he says it.
But who would sue them for this? They aren’t blaming devices or companies here. They’re blaming Biden, DOJ, the system and anything else in the government they can.
I imagine that leading up to the election, they don’t want to show a pattern of unsubstantiated false election claims, since that can be used as evidence if later there is a claim by a host or guest which names a company directly that can be used in a lawsuit.
If such a lawsuit were to happen, they can point to this instance and claim that they tried their hardest to stop the unsubstantiated claims (even cutting off the former president), and it’s not a systemic issue in the network.
Have not them been successfully sued in the past for propagation of lies about election?
They spent millions in the past establishing that they are entertainment not news and thus cannot be held accountable or some such shit.
By voting machine companies.
Lots of people invested in the fact that happened. Trump can blame the government all he wants. As long as he doesn’t super obviously foment violence then he’s not getting sued.
Same with Fox.
If Fox decides to malign corps or non-public people, then they may be sued. You can lie about the President and DOJ all day without commuting a crime or standing for a lawsuit.
As long as he doesn’t super obviously foment violence then he’s not getting sued.
Fox doesn’t want to be dragged into that lawsuit for enabling Trump.
And they know that when he gets on one of his rants, it can go off the rails in all sorts of unpredictable (and legally risky) ways.
Where they slandered voting machine companies? Yes.
That’s not what they’re doing now. At least, not yet.
This time they’ll blame a corrupt government.
Does the corrupt government alter vote counts? Or how does that work?
It works by allowing undocumented workers to vote by mail as often as they’d like.

He’s such a whiny crybaby.
You know you’re a super whiny baby when Fox has to cut you off
You should get an award if Newsmax has to cut you off. I imagine it could be a medal made out of coal smeared with shit.
If Newsmax has to cut you off, you should just go to jail because you probably did something fucking insane
Nah, we’ve seen first-hand that doing something fucking insane won’t necessarily land you in jail, especially if you’re a conservative.
And his followers think he’s a strong man.
They’re whiny crybabies too.
He’s a snowflake.
Probably trying to save him from violating his gag order.
The last few days of the trial saw a huge explosion of drama.
At the beginning of the week, Trump defense counsel Todd Blanche got the former president’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen, a star witness for the prosecution, to admit he stole money from the Trump Organization, to attempt to cast doubt on the idea Trump knew all the financial decisions Cohen made on his behalf with hush payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Things derailed for the defense, however, when they called Cohen’s former legal adviser Robert Costello to the stand, who proceeded to antagonize the judge and admit under cross-examination that he was manipulating Cohen to Trump’s benefit.
Heh heh heh
There are 2 lawyers on the jury. If any of the other jurors were too stupid to know why the courtroom was cleared, I’m sure it was well-explained to them.
What if I am too stupid to understand? Can you explain it to my dumb ass?
Clearing the courtroom is how the Judge gets to have a 1-on-1 conversation that starts with “Listen here, you little shit …”
You’d think, as a lawyer himself, that Costello would know better than pissing off the judge.
I guess he’s just another in the long history of Trump hiring the worst lawyers.
